Chapter 120,A Beauty with Multiple Masks
Vinson was concerned at Arielle’s worn disposition. “Are you alright?” Arielle responded in the negative
even though she was a little short of breath. “I’m fine. Combining needling on the head with that on the
body will produce the best results, so I must continue.” With that, she produced a handful of silver-plated
needles from the pouch and removed the patient’s shirt so that she may begin to place the needles
sequentially.
Compared to the initial placements on the head, the rapid pace at which she worked on the body was so
many times faster that all Jordan could see was the trail of her right hand. Before he could catch the
sight of her hand in full, a total of twelve silver-plated needles had already been jabbed into eight

have you been single, Ms. Moore?”
That drew a quizzical look from Arielle. Jordan giggled nervously. “Uh, never mind. How long do they
need to stay on?” “Ten min…” Before she was able to enunciate “minutes”, Arielle’s strength deserted
her. Her vision blackened and her entire body slumped backwards. “Look out!” Vinson rushed over and
was able to catch the fainting woman in time, and discovered that her body was clammy when his arm
accidentally came in contact with her neck. “Dr. Jankowitsch!”
Vinson shouted while he lifted up and carried Arielle over to the hospital bed. Klaus was taken by
surprise as well and hastened over to check on her. An unsettled Vinson asked after a series of
examining. “How’s she doing?” “It was nothing serious. Just exhaustion. She should be better after lying
down for a while, but I could get the nurse over to put her on a drip if you are still worried,” Klaus replied,
looking a little more relaxed.
“Then hurry.” Klaus grunted in acknowledgment and hurried outside, only to crash head-along into Carter
who was coming in from the opposite direction. “Ouch…” Klaus groaned while he rubbed at his head.
“What are you in such a hurry for?” Carter barked in displeasure. Before Klaus could answer, Carter had
already spotted Arielle lying in the one bed, and the foreign man with needles in his head on the other.
“How could you let her poke needles into that bugger’s head?”
he fumed with a furrow before he stormed toward the bed with the intention of pulling the needles off..
“Carter!” The eagle-eyed Vinson swiftly seized upon his hand. “What are you trying to do?” “What do you
think?” Carter’s eyes reddened amidst his own consternation. “As if it’s not crazy enough to have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmneedles in body, you had to have them in his head as well? Let go!” Not only did Vinson not relinquish his
grip, he went on to hold on ever more firmly.
“Arielle said that these need to stay in for half an hour. Dr. Jankowitsch has been keeping watch by the
side so it’s going to be fine. Don’t mess this up.” That had Carter scoffing, “Not only was that punk
Harvey bewitched, and now you too? This is the human head we’re talking about!
If this continues and that guy dies, how are we to find those who put him up to it?” The observing Jordan
could no longer withhold himself. “Ms. Moore has already passed out, Vin, so I don’t think we can count
on her to treat the guy any longer. Maybe we should remove the needles as it’s kind of creeping me
out…”
Vinson remained unmoved as he spat, “Heck no!” “Vinson Nightshire!” Carter said in dismay, “You’re in
over your head and going to ruin everything! Hands off now, or you’ll regret it!” Vinson’s eyes darkened.
“Not happening. If you want to pull them out, you’ll have to get past me first!”
